The FAA has announced it will close the airspace around El Paso International Airport for 10 days, a rare move that hasn’t been imposed since the September 11 terror attacks.
The agency announced Wednesday that the closure was being imposed for “special security reasons,” but did not elaborate.
“The FAA, on short notice, issued a temporary flight restriction halting all flights to and from El Paso,” the airport said in a statement to Fox News. “Commercial airlines operating out of El Paso are being informed of the restriction, which appears to be security-related.”
The reason for the restriction has not been revealed.
“It’s definitely something big like a national security event, [or] a high-level VIP,” former FAA safety team member Kyle Bailey told the network on Wednesday.
Bailey further speculated it could be anything having to do with national security or an equipment test.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has not yet commented on the closure.
The airspace above Mexico will remain open. The airport is located nearly 30 miles from Ciudad Juárez.
